Whoa, we actually get to see the model girl from the poster from the previous episodes show up as "Hina". Silly Hajime.

The episode was alright. There's still a lot of the same usual comedy gag although I personally find a few of the reaction faces to be hilarious. I want to also see the show focus more on Alec soon. Love is complicated!

I KNEW IT! I fucking knew she was Hina! I even called it back in the episode 2 thread. Pin-senpai was right about her big, beautiful tits too, but they look so much smaller in her school outfit it's absurd. You know, I already shipped them hard, but now it's effectively a done deal as far as I'm concerned. They MUST end up together with lots of babies! XD Meanwhile more foreshadowing of Teresa as royalty. How the show handles that reveal and the fallout will be crucial, though it'll probably be a few more weeks first. Next week: the return of Nyanko Big and fanservice! Sigh me up! XD

Oh boy where to even start ...

Like i know that prez was HINA all the time, and i know the whole club (except Alec) dont know about that but Pin-senpai too ? Really ? That was dumb and he don't even recognize her at the end, that was even more dumb lol how typical, is this the route we are taking anime-kun ? Really ? give me a break ...

And of course Alec is in love, she is in love with that prince from the opening ... the other blonde dude ...

This was the fourth episode and here i fear that this show will give us absolutely nothing new with no conclusion whatsoever and with the most boring and cliche ending possible.

ignoring the fact that he can't recognize his own childhood friend even tho she's the person he adores

10/10 for dat outfit.

I really hope that Hajime is going to fall in love with the real Hinako.

I knew it! Hina resembled Hinako too much to be a different person!
That's a bit sad, actually. Hasegawa loves Hajime who loves her alter ego. I don't want him to know that Hinako is Hina. He should fall in love with his childhood friend, or - oh, that would be cool! - REALIZE he's in love with her and all he feels for Hina is just admiration of some sort! Otherwise, it'll be "I didn't realize I love you but now I know you're my idol crush, I do". I wouldn't like it at all.
Also, original animes are cool, you can make as much theories as you want and nobody's going to tell you "I've read manga and it's not going to happen".

And, just a random thought, but... could it be that Alec has a crush on Teresa? Or am I seeing things? I want to be wrong, let her be with Kaoru, come on...

This was probably my favorite episode so far. The subplot with Pin and Hina is very cute, I hope to see it fully fleshed out by season's end. Seems like we could be in for tear jerkers by the end of the show, looking forward to it. This has been delightful so far.

It was pretty obvious that Hinako is Hina. Pin-senpai spoke the truth about her. She is definitely gorgeous. It would be nice if she got together with Hajime. Tada in that outfit was funny.

Pin-Senpai is a very amusing character to watch. The way he explains his love for Hina not knowing that she is Hinako lmao, so hilarious. "Thank you for being born", you had one job. what the hell are those clothings .

The episode was decent focusing on Hina and Pin. I like their interaction. The comedy is still the strong characteristic of the show and I enjoy it.

Seems that Alec is in love too. I want to see more of her character.

Didn't have much expectations coming into it, but Tada-kun is a suprisingly good teen romance and the character cast is incredibly likeable. So far, so great. My favourite of the season.

Edit: Why do people even brag about knowing Hinako is HINA? That was so obvibous it's not even funny.

I have to admit that I didn't see the Hinako is HINA thing coming... I'd just assumed that her sheepishness, whenever Pin-senpai mentioned HINA, was because she was reserved and somewhat sad that he didn't seem to see her in the same way as he did HINA, a famous gravure model. Because, she actually likes him. And frankly, I was actually a little disappointed that he didn't end up recognizing that she and HINA were one and the same, after everything they both went through, in the episode. BUT, if she's happy with the way everything turned out, then I can't really complain. Because overall, it was another really enjoyable episode, for me. I love this series!

Great episode.

Well, considering they were hinting Hinako was indeed Hina, it's not surprise.

The phone call near the end where Hajime thanked Hinako was really sweet.

That said, this episode was really cute. I definitely ship Hajime and Hina together and I really hope Hina can find it in her to reveal her identity to Hajime at some point. I'm so looking forward to seeing his reaction to it.

Why would you think she’s in love with Teresa when there hasn’t been a reaction from her to her at all. She got hugged twice by Teresa and she didn’t think much of it at all. Plus, there would be a much stronger reaction if the person you love asked you that question and they’re next to you. The only reason why she reacted to the love question was most likely because she has a crush on the blonde guy from the OP which is possibly Teresa’s brother or Fiancée. So, it’s weird for her to be honest. Not to mention that there are multiple hints. The OP and key visuals that was released.

actually it was pretty obvious she was hina I mean she gave such obvious hints that you'd have to be blind not to have noticed, and I'm certain everyone ships those two together.

Yep Hinako is Hina, I already knew the moment I've watched the 1st ep....too bad Pin sempai is rather too stupid to even notice..........

I still think that Alec is very much older then everyone else .

Btw Pin sempai's earlly outfit kinda makes him look like an 80's yakuza, and in the end it did got him in trouble with the cops.

Not sure why so many people are bragging about figured out Hina is Hinako. It was made so painfully obvious, similar to Teresa being a royalty.

Alec's love interest is most likely the blond guy from the opening. I assume he is Teresa's brother, or at least her relative. Now let's see how will Ijuuin manage to gain Alec's love. Hope it's not the predictable drama of Alec got heart broken after the blond guy got engaged/married.

I really wonder where this show is going. I feel that Tada and Teresa despite being the "main" characters are pushed to the side and rarely interact with each other, or even with the other characters. I was hoping for it to get better and see them together more because they do seem to be on good terms but idk it seems like that would be a road the show won't take, considering the fact it's only 12 episodes :/ I hope I'm wrong.

loved pin's outfit tho. 10/10

Actually, Hina's identity was so obvious that I thought the real plot twist would be that she was not.
Am I the only one to think Hinako looks cuter than her alter ego?

I can relate somehow with the nerves of meeting your idol. I was fortunate enough to meet my favorite novelist and it's really like that when you're shy, everything you say or do makes you feel silly.

You know, I liked this episode but... it's a bad sign when the subplot of an anime is more interesting than the main plot. Seriously, this anime would actually feel better IMO if Hajime and Hinata were the protagonists, and if the story was about Hajime eventually finding out Hinata = HINA, while Hinata slowly grows confident enough to face him earnestly. Instead, we'll eventually get stuck with Teresa and Tada-kun.

Life is unfair.

I knew she looked very similar to Hina.... But at the same time not close enough for me to be sure since no one else seem to notice.
Like I was pretty sure she was Hina but it made no sense to me that no one in the anime noticed... SO I concluded that it was not the same person.... I further concluded that her nervousness was that she was disappointed that Hajime liked he idol more than herself. But yet I guess the anime cast just needed glasses.

I think the tittle is trying to alert us about the amount of romance we will actually have in this show, that was the fourth episode and at this rate all the endings will be open endings.

It was obvious that hinako was HINA since episode 2 because of her resemblance to the poster and her reaction whenever HINA is mentiioned, and also the name Hinako - ko = HINA. And I call it...Teresa's secret is she is a princess which will be revealed on episode between 10 to 12.
And Tada looks good in that outit xD..5/5 for this episode.
